In the interest of some hope of getting this thread back on track, I'll post a recent 1D X + 300 f/2.8 IS II + CPL shot

Very good point and very good image, with a slightly unusual use of the 300/2.8. That kind of light is Not easy and the polarizer effect was brilliant. Good job!

Also, the full moon. The next Friday the 13th full moon we´ll have here is in 49 years!

This is from Stonehaven on the Scottish east coast, with Dunnottar castle in the background. Beautiful place. Shot with the Zeiss 21mm f2.8, 1/160s, f9.0, ISO100

When I returned from this trip, I handed in the 1DX to CPS for sensor cleaning. When I picked it up (later the same day!!), they had changed the whole mirror housing, due to wear and tear. I had previously done the recommended services, but still it happened. I only have about 20.000 exp on it, so it was a bit of a surprise. My serial number is 072012001217, so if you have one prior or around that number, it could be that you should have it checked.

Here´s one from the Stonehaven port on the east coast of Scotland, also with the 21mm Zeiss.

I have mostly been shooting birds and animals lately, interrupted by the occasional portrait and event. Wide angle landscape shooting turned out to be a lot more difficult than I remembered (I have tried becoming a photographer for only 40 years ... ).

I´m a bit scared of loosing my reputation of posting cat images, so here´s a recent one of The Local Lion He´s 14 years old now, but still king of the street Like with other animals, I find the structure and color of their fur to be amongst the best subject for lens tests there is. Open the link and look close around his eyes ...

I totally wrecked my 135 f2.0L earlier this year and was planning to buy a new, but ended up with a Zeiss 135 f2.0 instead. Optically and mechanically as good as only Zeiss makes them, but of course manual focus. This one is shot with the new Ec-S focusing screen. With that I am able to nail pretty much every shot, provided things does´t move too fast.
